From fa98190728ecf89a0051f0c1e8e1e52feb9fefae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Bradley M. Kuhn" Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2014 14:12:07 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Clarify PayPal option wording, and note currency information needed. PayPal can handle mulitple currencies now. Therefore, we should collect preferred currency ifnormation from the traveler, thus avoiding additional round-trips to verify what currency they seek reimbursement. Link to the list on PayPal's website of what currencies they support: some travelers in the past have requested currencies via PayPal that it turned out PayPal didn't support. --- Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt | 15 +++++++++------ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt b/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt index 1d86292..dd79b3f 100644 --- a/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt +++ b/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt @@ -117,12 +117,15 @@ for Project approval: * How you'd liked to be reimbursed.
